This page will walk you through the process of setting up your VirZOOM bike to play VirZOOM Arcade games. Let's get started!
1. Unpacking & Assembly
Remove your VirZOOM controller from its box and follow the instructions in the printed manual that came with your bike. VirZOOM requires 2 AA batteries.

The left pedal must be screwed on counterclockwise. Attempting to screw it in clockwise can damage it. |
2. Plug in the Bike Dongle
The VirZOOM bike communicates with a PC or PlayStation 4 console wirelessly using a Bluetooth. The battery compartment has extra space to store a USB dongle that must be plugged into the PC/PS4 to use the bike. Plug it in, and make sure the bike is switched on.
The next steps you take will differ depending on whether you're on a PC or a PlayStation 4.
3a. On a PC? Download from Steam
VirZOOM games can be downloaded as a collection called VirZOOM Arcade from Steam , an online game service. If you don't already have Steam set up, be sure to do the following:
...
Launch the Steam application you just installed and create a Steam account on Steam (note this is not your VirZOOM account)
...
- In Steam, click the Tools menu
- Scroll down to "SteamVR" in the list
- Right-click on SteamVR and choose Install
...
3b. On a PS4? Download from the PlayStation Store
You can download VirZOOM Arcade for free from the PlayStation Store on the web or on your PS4 console.
4. Run VirZOOM Arcade to Get Your Code
Before you can play VirZOOM games, you need to create a VirZOOM account. You may have already read in the manual that you need a code for this.
When the game starts up the first time, it will present you with a registration code that you enter at virzoom.com/register to create an account. You'll then need to check your email to verify your account.
Trouble? If your PC doesn't respond to you using the bike, you may need to update drivers to recognize the Bluetooth USB dongle.
5. Start pedaling!
Once you've created your VirZOOM account, you should be able to play. Read the rest of this manual for additional tips on setup and features.
Note that when you first start, you only have access to one game at a time. This is on purpose: Moving around in VR can be disorienting without proper training first, so complete these tutorials to unlock more games!

Congratulations on getting started with VirZOOM! To play VirZOOM, you'll need to get set up your VirZOOM device—VZ Sensor or VZ Bike Controller—and install our collection of exercise games, VirZOOM Arcade.
Set up your VirZOOM device
Please select your VirZOOM device.
You can also play VirZOOM Arcade without a VirZOOM device, using an Xbox controller or PlayStation gamepad controller on PC or PlayStation 4. (Just make sure you don't have a USB bike dongle plugged in, or VirZOOM Arcade will assume you want to play on a VZ Bike!)
